Great to see Le Mans as I remember it, with real cars, albeit exotica beyond the wallets of mere mortals. Long before the days of hordes of "prototypes" swamping Sarthe and its historic highways. Thanks for the memories!

The Aston Martin DBR1 is my favorite sports racing car of the 1950s.

Fantastic video. Loved the old race circuit and the history. Worked for David Brown many years ago. Most of these gentlemen have passed now, but are missed. As an owner of a Cobra - Hail Shelby.

I've seen this film before, but with different narration. I recall a "vive le commisar" after the scrutineering bit and showing the fellow chatting with the two ladies. Edit: Either way, it's a treasure. Thanks for posting!

Filmed by John Tate of Tate and Lyle , he always had an Aston, but seem to remember he switched to a Ferrari Daytona around 1970.

You are right and I’m ashamed to say I bumped into in a car park around 1985

Brilliant stuff. Thanks. I'm too young to remember or have experienced any of this, but Le mans and it's history are my number one interest. Of note is the 4'03" lap of Sir Stirling as one of the top cars. Which is around what the fastest GT cars were doing recently. Maybe not that accurate, but not far off. Modern Corvettes for instance. Of course the track has changed a lot in distance and layout, but yet another fascinating comparison.

I read a book about this race written from the Aston Martin point of view. One page showed the tool kit for the pit crew. It was pitiful! In fact the picture of the full kit was presented on one whole page of the book.

I have seen this firm before but I’ve not heard the the commentary. It is delivered in first person. Do you know who it was? I thought it may have been written by John Wyer as it was not his voice.

This is from a Movie Collection called A Gentleman's Motor Racing Diary, it was shot in SILENT 16mm film by an Amateur Film Maker and Racing fan John Tate. John's Son remastered these films and added the Commentary and Sound, or we'd be watching a SILENT Movie about racing.

@@lynnegovus6398 Wouldn't Alain de Cadenet be a little too young for this particular era of motor racing ? Also, it doesn't sound remotely like I remember his voice. It could be him, but I'm not sure.
